Hen and Chicks

I love houseplants, especially ones that “do” something.  Like my Purple Shamrock I posted about here.  It goes to sleep at night.

My mother used to love cactus and succulents and I always think of her when I see them.  Many a time I would come away from a garden centre my hands full of little prickles after picking up and putting down a dozen or so cactus for her to examine.

Anyway back to my little beauty.  I bought this succulent plant last week, it’s commonly called Hen and Chicks because it has “babies”.  Shoots will appear, well I’m hoping they will, and grow into baby plants.  Plenty of them if I’m lucky and look after it properly.  

I’ll be back with another picture as soon as Mother Nature works her magic.

With this post I’m linking to Simple Pleasures.  A new blog I’ve recently found where others are sharing their Simple Pleasures too.
